my lover

Midnight walks and my slow pace.

He’s by my side everyday.

Talking, singing

and dancing.

A deep blue sky,

a meteor passes by.

But I search and wonder

could I find you in the stars?

He takes me out

and drives us home.

I’m absorbing his hues

but searching for you.

He’s a pretty apparition

that’s come to fruition.

I burn in his blue,

but I drown for you.

My hair fallen to the carpet.

Ghastly face turned scarlet.

He’s making me someone new,

but my roots remembers you.

He’s a treasured silver wristlet,

turning my nights incandescent.

Still, I desire your gold.

My yearning is getting old.

My transient consolation prize,

he makes my stomach sink, my heart skip.

Time always moves by,

Still, I want your championship.

He shares my hobbies,

and does what you won’t.

I like his mind and body

but it’s no him I want.

To be with him

is a certain kind of safety.

Lifelong comraderie.

Time could be never ending.

I could stay by his side

for the rest of my life.

Forever could finally be mine

never taken by the tides.

But if he’s a pool, you’re an ocean.

You lift me up, cut me open.

You won’t ever really die.

I can’t ever really say goodbye.
